Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is an overglaze ceramic square plate made in the late Edo period.
It's made in Kyoto.
It is thought that this pottery was made based on a design by a potter called "Kenzan Ogata" who was active in the middle of the Edo period.
(Kenzan Ogata is a famous potter who even appears in Japanese art textbooks.)
The feature of this pottery is that it is made with a unique production technique that after stretching it on a clay plate and cutting it into squares, the clay that has been cut into long strips is pasted on all sides and fired.
This plate is made with a design that makes green and blue stand out on a white base.
Flowers are drawn, but the margins are intentionally removed around them to create a simple finish.
it's very beautiful.
Also, since this pottery has been used for a long time, the glaze is peeling off here and there. See detailed images.
However, this peeling does not progress as much as it is used normally.
In addition, since thin clay plates are fired, the plates themselves tend to warp or twist in the kiln.
This plate is also slightly twisted when viewed horizontally.
However, it can be used without any problems when used as a tray.
It is also worth seeing as an ornamental plate...
